Barely two weeks after
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, declared former
Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako and his son, Abdul-Aziz, wanted,
operatives of the agency, yesterday morning arrested the younger Nyako
in Gombe, Gombe State.

He was immediately flown to Abuja where he is currently being grilled by a
crack
team of detectives who had been working on the Adamawa investigation
for several months. Abdul-Aziz, who was declared wanted by the EFCC in
the case of stealing, abuse of office and money laundering, is currently
telling investigators all he knows about illicit funds traced to
companies where he has interest.
Specifically, he will
have to explain how over N15 billion funds belonging to Adamawa State
was laundered into the accounts of five companies owned by him- Blue
Opal Nigeria limited, Crust Energy Nigeria Limited, Blue Ribbon
Multilinks Limited, Tower Assets Management Limited and Blue Ribbon
Bureau De Change.
Abdul-Aziz’s company,
Blue Opal, is said to own, among other investments in Nigeria, an estate
in Abuja, while his father’s account officer owns several properties
and investments scattered around Abuja, Yola and Kano.
Former governor Nyako is still on the run.
